Mad Dog

Chapter 15: Touching the Realm Jiang Qi let go of the girl very cautiously and restrainedly

Views:

*The boy's eyes are really beautiful, they are transparent and cold.

Jiang Qi's panicked eyes reminded Zhiqi of the time when she saw him again in No. 3 Middle School when she was sixteen years old.

— Time seemed to go back to the past at once.

Zhiqi seemed to see her former self under Jiang Qi's light gaze, the girl who was in a mess in midsummer,

In fact, it's not that she doesn't remember the day she graduated from elementary school. It can even be said that she always remembers it.

Because when the girl grows up and thinks back to that day, she will find out how wrong Jiang Qi was at that time.

He was lying in the dilapidated and cramped environment, his face was pale, weak and almost crumbling, but he kept pushing himself away with a cold face, looking nervous as if some evil spirit could appear in this room.

In fact, he should have realized that he was wrong at that time, but it's a pity that the little girl has always been in a honey pot since she was a child, and she has never been stared at so coldly.

The scolding from Jiang Qi was even more embarrassing, and Zhi Qi couldn't bear it anymore and ran away immediately, stepping on the smelly puddle—and the boy didn't comfort her with a single word.

On the way home, Zhiqi felt like a dog who had lost everything.

In her immature age, she only felt that it was the saddest day for her.

After returning home, Zhiqi's stinky shoes were thrown away by the aunt at home, and she found out that she was infected when she went to wash up.

It may be because of the virus breeding in that dilapidated Chenkong alley, the girl is delicate and fleshy, and there are large patches of red rashes on her white lotus-like calves, which are itchy and painful.

Zhiqi didn't know whether it was because of the pain or some other reason, but when Mei Ran gave her the medicine, she couldn't help crying, her eyes were red with grievance.

But when the parents asked her what was going on, she just shook her head and said nothing.

This was done accidentally by herself, and it has nothing to do with Jiang Qi, she insisted on finding him.

It's just that Jiang Qi is too fierce today, she doesn't want to see him these days!

But Zhiqi never imagined at the time that the "a few days" she thought was a whole three years.

At the beginning, she just thought that Jiang Qi and Jiang Qi would not be able to see each other for a summer vacation. When they entered junior high school, they would naturally be classmates again.

The little girl's wound was exaggeratedly smeared with medicine by the adults, wrapped in gauze, and could not go out for a few days.

So when she was bored at home, she couldn't help but think of Jiang Qi again.

After a week, Zhiqi's leg healed, and her personality was standard "forget about the pain when the scar is healed". She didn't remember what Jiang Qi said before, never going to Chenkong Hutong. ran over.

As a result, the cramped bungalow where the boy was lying last time was empty, even the most common daily necessities were gone, as if... no one lived there.

Zhi Qi was dumbfounded, standing outside the bungalow, struggling to look inside through the window.

And the driver of Zhi's family who drove Zhiqi here couldn't stand the surrounding environment of this place, so he just covered his nose: "Qiqi, why did you come to this place? Go back quickly, or the husband and wife will be worried."

"I... I'm here to find a classmate." Zhi Qi drooped her long eyelashes lonely, and asked in a daze: "But there's no one here, uncle, do you think he moved?"

"Oh, it looks like we're moving." The driver glanced at it, and said without thinking, "There's nothing left here, who can live here."

There was a 'thump' in Zhiqi's heart.

After all, I guessed that there was no one here, and it was different from hearing someone else say it.

Jiang Qi has moved... Where can he move

It was only then that she realized that she had no way to contact Jiang Qi at all. As soon as she graduated from elementary school, the rope that tied them to meet seemed to be broken.

Just like now, he moved, but he didn't know where to find it.

Zhi Qi returned home in a daze.

During the remaining one month of summer vacation, Zhiqi has been looking forward to the start of junior high school.

In fact, she is not such a 'good boy' who loves to study, but now she can only see Jiang Qi when she goes to school, so go to school.

It's just that Zhiqi didn't expect that after the start of junior high school, she still wouldn't see Jiang Qi.

The eighth middle school freshmen are divided into seven classes, and Zhiqi is in the sixth class. On the first day of school, she entered her class and searched around with full expectation. Although she was a little disappointed when she didn't find Jiang Qi's shadow, she still felt that As expected.

After all, there are seven classes in Eighth Middle School, and the chance of them being assigned to one class is only one in seven.

It's normal that they can't get together, but it's just unavoidable.

The baby fat on Zhiqi's face has faded since she entered the sixth grade. She has a slapped face, a pointed chin, and a pair of dark eyes on her ivory white skin. She has been a perfect beauty since she was a child.

And good-looking little girls are given preferential treatment everywhere.

She quickly made a new friend in the class, a round-faced deskmate named Luo Ying.

When get out of class was over, Zhiqi propped her chin with a pencil, and asked, "Yingying, you know... I want to find a classmate in school, but I don't know which class he is in. Is there any way?"

In fact, I didn't have any hope at first, but I didn't expect Luo Ying to really know.

"There is a way!" The little girl nodded, her voice crisp and soft: "I remember that the names of the students in each class are stuck on the long blackboard at the entrance of the teaching building, so that parents can find it easily, don't you know?"

Zhiqi's eyes lit up and she shook her head.

When it was time for a break at noon, the little girl ran to the long blackboard at the entrance of the teaching building non-stop, and carefully looked at the densely packed words on the posted white paper.

But the more I looked, the more flustered I felt.

Because none of these seven classes had Jiang Qi's name.

Jiang Qi... Didn't he come to No. 8 Middle School? But didn't they agree to go to a school

Zhiqi stared hard at the names on the blackboard, her eyes were a little sore.

But after looking around again, I still couldn't find Jiang Qi's name.

Zhiqi was finally able to confirm that Jiang Qi didn't come to No.8 Middle School, he lied.

For a moment, the little girl's little hand hanging by her side was unconsciously clenched—it was the first time she began to 'resent' Jiang Qi very radically.

It's all a good deal, why did he lie to himself

So the breakup in Chenkong Hutong more than a month ago, could it be the last time they met

This made Zhiqi feel that the two years of accompanying each other in elementary school were like a joke, and she thought...she and Jiang Qi were different.

It turned out not to be, it turned out that she was the one Jiang Qi threw away whenever he wanted, without even saying hello.

Zhiqi wiped the reddish circles under her eyes with her hand, and without looking at the names on the blackboard, turned around biting her lip and ran away.

Since Jiang Qi can lie at will and leave without saying a word, then naturally he doesn't need to remember him.

There is a limit to one's 'initiative'. If you are too disappointed, you will not think about trying again.

So for the next three years, Zhi Qi never took the initiative to find Jiang Qi.

She didn't know where to look, and felt... There was no need to find someone who didn't care about her at all.

It's just that occasionally I feel that if I never see Jiang Qi again, I will feel a little empty in my heart.

The little girl's personality has also changed subtly to a certain extent unconsciously. She is still bright and gentle, but her junior high school career in the past three years has never allowed her to confide in any 'friends'.

Because suddenly losing a very important friend can be really sad.

But if you don't put in such a sincere contribution from the beginning to the end, you won't be sad, at least not so sad.

The disappointment in the summer when she was thirteen turned Zhiqi into a coward.

After the end of her junior high school career, when she was fifteen years old, she thought she had forgotten about Jiang Qi—because she seldom thought of him.

-Time is the best medicine that can cure everything.

-The sky that once thought to be falling down, looking back, is actually just the stubbornness that dragged the past reluctantly.

With no other distractions for three years, Zhiqi's academic performance is very good. During the senior high school entrance examination, she was admitted to the city's top No. 3 middle school without a doubt.

The sixteen-year-old girl is tall, with a slender figure, protruding like a slim lily, with a delicate slapped face, jet-black beauty eyes, wearing the simplest school uniform and a ponytail, she is also very beautiful. Do not open your eyes.

By the time they are in high school, students can usually receive class placement notices in the class group on their mobile phones. Most students have mobile phones, so they no longer have to go to the bulletin board in the teaching building to see where they are.

And sometimes, fate is really a very metaphysical and coincidental thing.

Just like the day Zhiqi went to report at the beginning of school, when she walked to the door of the first class she was assigned to, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

It seems that somewhere, I sensed that something will happen, and the suddenness makes people very uncomfortable.

The girl's delicate brows were slightly frowned, and her small hands subconsciously squeezed her exquisite earlobes, and then walked into the class.

It wasn't too early for her to come. There were already quite a few students in the classroom, rushing to choose a seat before the teacher came—basically they all ran to the back row.

Zhiqi stood at the door, looking around the classroom, and settled on the figure by the last row of windows.

For a moment, she felt that her five senses seemed to be a little blank, and she could only see the silhouette of the boy in the vast expanse.

After three years, from the age of thirteen to sixteen, in fact, a person will change a lot.

But Zhiqi could tell at a glance that the thin boy in school uniform was Jiang Qi, he was sitting in a corner looking out the window indifferently, she could only see half of his side face, with sharp lines.

The boy was as thin and pale as ever, as if he was malnourished, but whether it was the driving legs under the table or the fingers carelessly turning the pen on the table, they were all very long.

It seems that Jiang Qi has also grown a lot taller, Zhi Qi thought sourly.

Compared with a few years ago, the boy 'growth' a lot. The lines on his face are exquisite and sharp, his eyebrows are sword-like, and his Danfeng eyes are full of hostility. His clear and pale face is full of youthful feeling.

It's just that there is no feeling of "immature" at all.

When Zhiqi was hesitating whether to walk over, she saw a few girls in the same class whispering to each other. They seemed to be a little shy and walked over to say hello to Jiang Qi: "Student, you..."

Before the words fell, Jiang Qi's head, which was already on the side, was even more tilted, almost turning his back to them, in a state of completely unwilling to speak.

The few girls were stunned, and then they couldn't hold back their faces, and walked away angrily muttering "who is it" while curling their lips.

Although it shouldn't be, Zhi Qi still wanted to laugh.

The girl bit her lips with her porcelain white teeth, and after pinching her palm vigorously, she still walked towards Jiang Qi.

She looked at the boy's black hair and the neck exposed between the collar of the school uniform, and said in a soft and soft voice, "Student."

There was no response.

Sure enough, Jiang Qi was still the same as before, so cold that he refused to keep people thousands of miles away.

Zhiqi was not discouraged either, she took a deep breath and called out again: "Jiang Qi."

This time the boy turned his head back.

Zhi Qi didn't squint, and stared at Jiang Qi with her pitch-black eyes, clearly seeing the consternation in his glass-colored pupils.

The boy's eyes were really beautiful, transparent and cold.

And Zhiqi knew how difficult it was for Jiang Qi's indifferent mood to be stunned against the coldness.

It seemed that he still remembered her, and the corners of the little girl's lips curled up in satisfaction.

The eyes she looked at Jiang Qi were obviously dark, but the expression inside was like the boundless sea, gentle and calm.

Jiang Qi's astonished emotions gradually subsided, he pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "...Qiqi."

He kept calling her that because Zhiqi liked it, and it's still the same after three years... It's good. Zhiqi sighed softly, and the emotion in her voice didn't know whether it was regret or satisfaction: "So you still remember me."

After finishing speaking, the little girl ignored him.

Zhi Qi seemed to be just coming to say hello, turned around and left after speaking, found a seat far away from Jiang Qi and sat down, separated by a few rows of tables in the middle, Jiang Qi could only stare blankly at the girl's thin and straight face back.

For some reason, he stood up and sat behind Zhiqi almost without thinking.

In fact, Jiang Qi really hated the seat in the middle and front row in the classroom, otherwise he would not have found a corner to sit down from the beginning, but...he still wanted to say a few words to Zhi Qi.

Zhiqi turned her head as if telepathically, looking at him with peach blossoms slightly raised at the end of her eyes, the smile on her lips was a bit annoyed: "Why did you sit here?"

Jiang Qi was silent for a moment, and his voice was a little difficult: "I...I want to say a few words to you."

"Well, do we have anything to say?" Zhiqi looked at him with a smile, her slightly narrowed eyes were cold: "What should be said, didn't you already tell me?"

At this time, the teacher happened to walk in, and Zhiqi turned her head without hesitation.

Jiang Qi's slender fingers pinched the pen holder unconsciously, and his brain was almost "buzzing" confused - so much so that he didn't listen to what the teacher said at length on the podium.

On the first day of school, he didn't even remember the name of the head teacher.

The boy kept staring at the girl's back, and after a long time, he smiled softly.

Zhiqi's temperament has changed a bit compared to when she was a child, but she is still cute.

It was unexpected to meet her again.

But really good.

For the whole week after school started, Zhi Qi didn't speak to Jiang Qi.

The little girl no longer pestered him and acted like a baby every day like when she was in elementary school, and she had lunch with him at noon, and discussed topics she didn't know when meeting head to head. On the contrary... It is a completely indifferent attitude.

Zhiqi went out with the girls who had fun after class, and came back after class, went to the cafeteria with friends at noon, and left on a bicycle after school in the evening, relying on the fact that her home was close to the school.

Don't give Jiang Qi any chance to talk to her at all.

And Jiang Qi is the kind of person who is extremely stupid.

He faintly felt that the girl was angry, and she had been angry since the first day they met, but he didn't know how to apologize.

It's not that the "I'm sorry" from his mouth is very expensive, but... Jiang Qi is really not good at it.

Having grown up so big, he has never apologized to others, and he is really not good at this aspect.

It's just that the feeling of being so deliberately ignored by her is really uncomfortable.

So on the Friday night before the weekend, Jiang Qi stood in front of Zhiqi immediately after school. The cold atmosphere on his body made Tang Jiao, a female classmate next to Zhiqi, startled, but the little girl was ignorant , didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Qiqi." Jiang Qi looked at her restrainedly, and his lowered tone was after forcibly 'gentle': "Can I have a few words with you?"

Everyone in the class knew that Jiang Qi was so silent that the teacher didn't even call him by name, and his demeanor was always cold and stern. At this moment, this 'gentle' appearance is really rare, and Tang Jiao was dumbfounded.

And Zhiqi held the book and shook her head, a few strands of hair on her cheeks swayed to her face with her movements, her black eyes were pure and innocent.

This is obviously unwilling, but this time Jiang Qi didn't leave, and still stood in front of the two girls like a ghost—the stagnant atmosphere was very embarrassing for a time.

In the end, Tang Jiao couldn't take it anymore, and planned to run away first, she said weakly: "Uh, Qiqi, then I'll go first, you... shall we go together tomorrow?"

Of course Zhiqi would not make things difficult for her, and nodded slightly.

The young man's thin and tall body was straddling in front of the bicycle, blocking the way, and Zhiqi had to look up at him.

"Jiang Qi." The girl's voice was soft and her emotions were very light: "What are you doing?"

Her voice was enough to soften the bones, but she didn't mean to be coquettish.

Jiang Qichui moved his fingers by his side and lowered his eyes slightly: "I want to say a few words to you."

.

He was a tall boy with his head lowered halfway, but somehow he felt so pitiful. Seeing him like this, Zhiqi couldn't help but sighed after a few seconds of silence.

"Okay." The little girl glanced at her watch and raised her chin arrogantly: "Ten minutes."

The two went to the unmanned back playground of the school, and it was Jiang Qi who helped Zhiqi push the cart.

When he got to a quiet place, Jiang Qi's first sentence was a straightforward apology: "Qiqi, I'm sorry."

Zhiqi was obviously taken aback for a moment.

After a while, the girl looked at him quietly: "Why are you apologizing?"

"For everything." Jiang Qi pursed his lips, and obviously said all the speeches he had prepared these days: "I shouldn't have been cruel to you before, I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye, and I shouldn't... I haven't seen you in years."

He was still a little stiff at the beginning, but as he spoke later, his voice became rambling and low-pitched.

The expression between Zhiqi's brows was a little loose, and she looked at the boy in front of her with a complicated expression.

In fact, if she pretends to ignore Jiang Qi, she will also secretly look at him—the young man is much taller than a few years ago, and he is more silent and more sinister. Sometimes it’s not because he deliberately ignores him, but after three years... Zhi Xi also didn't know how to get along with Jiang Qi.

Is it still the same as before? That is of course impossible, not to mention the three-year gap, just because boys and girls are physically and psychologically mature, it is doomed that they cannot be as close as elementary school students.

But stay away from Jiang Qi... She couldn't do it.

Zhi Qi knew that she just simply couldn't swallow that breath.

In the past three years, if you say you don't want him, how can you actually miss him

"Why do you..." The little girl said with difficulty: "Why can you leave for three years without saying a word?"

Jiang Qi raised his head, and saw Zhi Qi's pink slapped face with reddish eye circles, his heart seemed to be pinched by a pair of invisible hands.

It hurt sorely, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only stand there dumbly, listening to Zhi Qi's almost accusatory words.

"Disappear if you want to disappear, and appear if you want to appear." Zhiqi is not the girl who can cry wantonly now, she noticed her gaffe, wiped her face vigorously, sniffed her nose and said softly: " Then apologize to me, shall I forgive you?"

"No, no." When Jiang Qi saw her red eye circles, he was at a loss. Unfortunately, the always cold young man couldn't comfort others, so he could only shake his head clumsily: "It's my fault, you... you don't forgive me, it's normal of."

He just wanted this chance to apologize.

"Jiang Qi, remember." Zhi Qi pushed his hand away, took over his bicycle, and left with a crisp back, leaving only a firm and tender voice—

"It was you who broke your promise first.

Therefore, she will neglect Jiang Qi for a while, let him try this feeling of disappointment, and then...

It's okay to forgive him.

- When facing the person you like, the bottom line and standards will be lowered step by step.

Commonly known as: double standard.

The turning point of the relationship with Jiang Qi broke the ice one month after the start of school. It was the eve of the weekend and the monthly exam was over. All the students felt as if they were tired after a layer of skinning, and they were finally able to relax.

That class was a physical education class, and most of the boys had gone out to play, while a small number of girls stayed in the classroom, and some were whispering about where they would go to play on weekends.

Zhiqi didn't go out either, she was wearing headphones on her seat, and was solving a problem she didn't understand in chemistry class.

When her mind was focused, Tang Jiao ran in from outside the classroom, rushed to her and said, "Qiqiqiqi!"

Zhiqi was startled by her, took off her earphones in a daze, and looked up at her.

In the end, I saw Tang Jiao's neatly combed ponytail at the moment, and she looked horrified: "My God, I went to the school canteen to buy water, and when I passed by the playground, I saw Chen Liufang and Jiang Qi fighting!"

With a 'click' sound, the pen that Zhiqi was holding was dropped on the table.

Even the girls who were chatting a lot around looked over when they heard Tang Jiao's words.

Zhiqi's face turned pale, and her delicate face was rare, her tone flustered: "I'll go and have a look."

She knew that Jiang Qi had always fought since he was a child and had always had wounds on his body, but... still worried.

The little girl almost ran all the way to the back playground, she was out of breath, and the sight of the back playground was that Zhiqi's slender ankle almost sprained—

Chen Liufang and his classmate Li Ran were fighting around Jiang Qi.

But obviously they didn't take advantage of the two-on-one, the three boys seemed to be rolling in the mud, the school uniform was covered with dust, the hair was messed up, and they were in a mess.

Although I don't know how these people fought, but Zhiqi must be facing Jiang Qi, and immediately yelled: "I'm looking for a teacher!"

The three boys looked up in unison.

Jiang Qi's light-colored eyes lit up when he saw the girl.

In fact, Zhiqi was just scaring people. She was so anxious that she called the teacher, but Li Ran was so frightened that she jumped up and couldn't help complaining: "Zhiqi, what's the matter with you?!"

Zhiqi hummed, and said confidently, "Who told you to fight?"

Tang Jiao, who was next to her, was scared like a quail by the scene of the fight, she hastily pulled La Zhiqi's sleeve, and muttered softly, "Why are you meddling in your own business?"

She actually thought that Zhi Qi and Jiang Qi were at odds, and brought her to watch the fun, but who knew what Zhi Qi called teacher when she came up

"Cut, what's wrong, we don't care about your girls." Li Ran was obviously discouraged, and snorted pretending to be disdainful, and said to Chen Liufang next to him, "Brother Fang, let's go."

Chen Liufang followed Li Ran in silence, but when he passed by Zhiqi, he couldn't help looking back several times at every step.

Then he saw that the girl with a slender back didn't even look at them, but ran straight to Jiang Qi not far away, and a soft voice that belonged to the girl's house seemed to come over: "Why are you fighting again? ?”

Chen Liufang paused, then stood in place and looked back—

Zhiqi quickly ran to Jiang Qi's side, the girl was half a head shorter than the boy, exquisite and petite.

Seeing the mottled marks on the boy's pale face, and the faintly bruised corners of his lips stained with a trace of blood, she couldn't help but frown.

Then the girl raised her hand and helped Jiang Qi wipe away the blood from the corner of her lips in a natural motion.

"I bother you to fight the most." Zhiqi muttered, took Jiang Qi's hand and looked at his knuckles with obvious scars, and said simply: "Go, go buy medicine."

Anyway, it's physical education class, so you can sneak out of the school gate.

There was a faint smile in Jiang Qi's eyes, and he was obedient and let her play around the whole time without saying a word.

The natural acquaintance of the two made Tang Jiao and Li Ran, who were watching by the side, dumbfounded, while Chen Liufang's expression became more and more gloomy and indifferent.

In the end, he couldn't help but walked up to Zhiqi to block her way, then pointed to Jiang Qi next to him in the girl's astonished eyes, and asked word by word: "Do you know that he is a lunatic?"

His abrupt words were enough to make the whole atmosphere strangely silent.

Zhi Qi frowned delicately, and retorted unceremoniously: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense? Zhiqi, don't you understand how pretentious this guy is?" Most of the high school boys hate people who are more pretentious than themselves. Chen Liufang has been displeased with Jiang Qi for a long time. Zhiqi laughed even more angrily protecting him, and almost couldn't choose what to say—

"I'm so fucking faceless every day, I don't talk to everyone in the class, and I'm dragging 250,000 to 80,000 as if someone owes him money? Zhiqi, stay away from him."

After hearing this, Zhiqi couldn't help laughing angrily.

"Chen Liufang, why do you care about me?" It's a pity that the girl can't speak harsh words, and she only gave him a soft nail before pulling Jiang Qi away: "Please take care of yourself, don't judge others."

Jiang Qi has been cold and weird since he was a child, but so what

I don't hate him. Is there a rule in this world that people are born to laugh and fit in with others

The more Zhi Qi thought about it, the angrier she became, and all the way to the back wall, her face was slapped and swollen into a bun face.

Jiang Qi looked at her and couldn't help laughing, his amber eyes seemed to contain a gentle sea.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhi Qi felt distressed and angry at the same time. Seeing that he was still laughing, she couldn't help but stop, and looked at him with a serious face: "Aren't you angry when he said that about you?" ?”

Jiang Qi shook his head, looking a little dull and obedient.

In fact, Zhiqi didn't know that Jiang Qi really didn't care what Chen Liufang said - over the years, he had already developed the ability to ignore the nonsense of the people around him.

Other people's comments on a person can't have much influence without real evidence.

If Chen Liufang hadn't taken the initiative to provoke and attack today, Jiang Qi wouldn't be bothered to fight back.

Most of the time, he is simply too lazy to give others a look.

But the little girl didn't have Jiang Qi's calm attitude after "reading all the thousand sails". Every time she saw Jiang Qi being insulted, she felt like she was going to explode.

"How can you not be angry?" Zhiqi clenched her small hands into fists unconsciously: "You are not some kind of lunatic, pretending to be like that, Chen Liufang is just talking nonsense..."

At the end, the girl sniffed unconsciously, as if feeling the grievance she felt.

Zhiqi's mentality now is that she can snub Jiang Qi, but if she doesn't want others to bully Jiang Qi, she will still feel very distressed.

But for Jiang Qi, the key point is... The young man's eyes were shining, like light-colored gemstones, and he looked at Zhiqi full of expectation: "Are you willing to talk to me?"

As long as Zhiqi is willing to talk to him, let him fight Chen Liufang ten times.

Zhiqi was a little speechless, and a little bit dumbfounded, but most of all she felt distressed.

After looking at each other for a long while, the little girl looked at the broken marks on the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help laughing with a 'puchi', but when she smiled, her shoulders trembled slightly.

Jiang Qi originally laughed with the girl, but seeing her lower her head, the smile immediately froze on her lips.

"Qiqi." The young man stretched out his hand unconsciously, but retracted it restrainedly before his fingertips touched the girl's thin shoulder. His cold voice was a little flustered: "What's wrong with you?"

"I hate you." Zhi Qi sniffed, and when she looked up again, there were obvious dots in her eyes.

But the girl obviously didn't want him to see that she had cried, so she turned her head away stubbornly and muttered: "I'm talking to you, it's okay to talk to you... It's annoying."

In the end, I couldn't help but give in to the softness, with a very charming appearance.

Zhiqi's fair ears were a little reddish, she bit her lip and didn't look at him.

But after Jiang Qi heard the words 'I'm talking to you', he couldn't care about anything else, and couldn't help looking at Zhi Qi obsessively, either with a smile or with deep eyes.

It's as if... he only has eyes for himself.

Zhiqi was inexplicably embarrassed, and glared at him pretending to be angry: "What are you looking at me for?"

The boy never said exaggerated and provocative words, but said honestly: "It looks good."

But the sincere look in his eyes made Zhi Qi even more clueless about what to say. It turned out that Jiang Qi's temperament was as straightforward and honest as it was three years ago, and it hadn't changed.

Maybe now that they're 'reconciled', it's time to stop tweaking.

In fact, she wanted to reconcile with him a long time ago.

So, just like three years ago, Zhiqi took Jiang Qi's arm and pulled him to the back wall in the corner of the back playground - where the students of No. 3 Middle School occasionally slipped away when they wanted to skip class.

"You go out first." Zhiqi is actually a good baby who has never skipped class. It was the first time she did it, and she was a little uneasy to "make a suggestion", and asked Jiang Qi tentatively: "Then follow me?"

Students who often skipped classes built a few bricks on the inner side of the wall to make it possible to climb up, but there was no one to follow if they jumped outside... Zhiqi felt that she would be afraid.

However, when it comes to skipping classes, Jiang Qi has done a lot.

He glanced at the height of the brick, and felt that it would be difficult to climb up with Zhiqi's height, so he half-kneeled in front of her: "You step on my shoulders and go up first."

Then let Zhiqi stay on the eaves of the wall, and then he will go up, jump down first and follow her.

It's just that although Jiang Qi's 'plan' is good, it is a bit troublesome to implement it—that is, Zhi Qi feels that she cannot step on his shoulders.

"This...isn't it good?" Zhi Qi looked at her shoes and said hesitantly, "It will stain your clothes."

"It's okay." Jiang Qi shook his head indifferently: "It's already dirty."

.

It was true, when he and Chen Liufang were fighting on the playground just now, the white school uniform was about to turn into black.

Thinking that the physical education class would soon be over after hesitating, Zhi Qi pursed her lips, and stepped on the boy's shoulder cautiously.

She is very light, but she is not afraid of hurting Jiang Qi, but she always feels that such movements are a bit weird.

When Zhiqi felt that Jiang Qi was holding her two hands and standing half upright, her ears couldn't help feeling a little hot. She staggered and climbed up the wall, and then sat there obediently waiting for him.

In fact, they used to hold hands in elementary school, but now it seems a little weird.

The boy's hands were much bigger than three years ago, and he could completely wrap her hand in the palm of his hand. The only thing that remained unchanged was the scars that came from unknown sources, and there seemed to be a few more.

Just as Zhiqi was thinking wildly, a gust of wind blew by her ears, and when she looked sideways, the boy had already sat beside her.

□□This kind of thing seems to be easy for Jiang Qi, and his actions are crisp and neat.

Facing the hot afternoon sun, half of the boy's exquisitely lined side face seemed to be plated with a layer of gold, giving it a sharp beauty like a sculpture.

Zhiqi's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and she subconsciously moved her eyes away.

But no matter where she moved, she felt that her eyes couldn't help but want to follow him.

Especially when Jiang Qi jumped off the wall and stood below and stretched out his hand to her, the boy's voice was calm but reassuring: "Come down, I'll follow you."

I follow you.

Damn four words that make people's heart beat, the little girl didn't know that the feeling of heart pounding was the feeling of "heartbeat", Zhi Qi only felt that she could trust Jiang Qi.

So she jumped down, and her petite body flew like a bird into the boy's not-so-strong embrace.

This is their first intimate act called 'hug'.

When Zhiqi's soft hair brushed against Jiang Qi's chin, the boy took two steps back inexplicably cramped, and let go of the girl's waist very cautiously and restrainedly.

One touch and one release, he only dared to touch her when he was 'protecting' her.

Inexplicably, both of them felt a little awkward, and they both tacitly kept silent.

However, the footsteps are the same, the pharmacy behind the school.

Zhiqi let Jiang Qi sit on the bench outside and waited, went in and bought disinfectant, bandages and cotton swabs, and helped him clean the wound when he came out.

—The scene is inexplicably familiar, in fact, Zhiqi has done this several times before.

"Does it hurt?" Zhi Qi touched the wound on the corner of Jiang Qi's lips with a cotton swab dipped in disinfectant, but he was still fine, so she couldn't help frowning, as if she felt the same way.

Jiang Qi shook his head, looking at Zhi Qi's Chang eyelashes who were close at hand, his eyes were a little lost.

In fact, he knew that Zhiqi was a girl who was afraid of pain. In the past when the school organized injections in elementary school, she would hide in the last one in fear.

That's why girls feel empathy for other people's pain, for fear that he will also feel pain.

But in fact, he has long been used to it, and it seems that the pain nerves are a little numb.

Jiang Qi lowered his eyes and found that he couldn't feel the tingling of the disinfectant. Oh, I don't know if it's good or not.

"Well, it's all right." After cleaning the wound, Zhiqi stuck the bandage on the corner of Jiang Qi's mouth, covering the glaring cut, and "appreciated" it with a sense of accomplishment for a while, before saying seriously: "No If you get wet, you can't fight."

Jiang Qi obediently said 'um'.

The young man with the Band-Aids stuck to the corners of his lips is inexplicably ruffian, his eyes under the black hair are cold and wild, but he is so obedient in front of her, there is a sense of 'innocence' under the contrast.

Zhiqi took a few glances, turned her head away to arrange the medicines on her knees, and her movements were repeated like "there is no three hundred taels of silver here".

There was no one on this road, and the two students sat quietly, bathing in the sun, which seemed to mean 'the years are quiet'.

"Jiang Qi." After a while, the girl opened her mouth in a low voice, with the puzzlement hidden all along in her soft voice: "Why didn't you go to No. 8 Middle School?"

In fact, this has always been a knot in her heart, and Zhi Qi has long wanted to ask.

After she finished asking, she clearly saw Jiang Qi's fingers on his knees curled into fists.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Qi apologized again, and said softly: "After graduating from elementary school, my household registration was transferred to my uncle's, so... I was assigned to the middle school on Shimada's side."

Shimada District is far away from Linlan City, almost a remote suburb. It was the place where the vegetable seller collected vegetables in the morning, and it was also the place where he saw Zhiqi for the first time and rescued the little girl.

Zhiqi was stunned, and asked in a murmur, "Why did you transfer your household registration to Shimada District? Can you tell me?"

Of course you can, in fact, there is nothing to hide from the little girl. Jiang Qi took a deep breath, turned his head and looked directly at the girl: "I wanted to turn around."

He wanted to leave Chenkong Hutong, the farther away the better.
